Thank you!!!! I have a very Puritan closet. LOL I have one risque dress I will post pics of when I create a Surgiversary post (this week) but funny thing is that black and white sweater belongs to my 12yr old. Im stealing her clothes now.

Spam! Lol never

It has dawned on me that I have lost only about 20ish lbs since I started IF, that may not seem like a lot but it was 20ish more than I would have because my other health conditions and meds were trying to hold me back. I digress. But the physical change is vastly different. I swear it dredged pure fat out of me. so screw the scale, here's the pics

That's it! I'm getting a bikini today!

That is Fantastic! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉The best news is it can also be a safe and effective maintenance tool. No slippery slopes because you'll know exactly what to do!!

Congrats on successful travel days! BTW If I also looked like @redhead_che I would wear a bikini Everywhere, PTA meetings, volunteer sites, synagogue...

How far out from surgery are you? I can't speak for everyone but by 6 months post op I could "chug" with the best of them. Infused waters, water with enhancers for flavor and clearer teas count towards pure water count in this challenge also. Hydration is the goal. I would rather have everyone well hydrated by sustainable methods rather than struggle to drink plain water all day. Just add some plain water in too if you can handle it.

Congrats amazing job!!! 🎉You deserve all the carbs🎉 (my absolute only gripe being a photog is someone thought it was a good idea to have your pic taken while standing on the disability sign 😂 😥 💙)

More stress removal techniques! Let me know what you think, because < stress = < fat

Also consider asking about medicinal laxative teas and if you can have them occasionally. Get well soon !

Try thinning the soup out with bone broth to reduce the cals and add a crunchy protein chips or cracker instead of Ritz crackers if those are worrisome to you. Measure and track everything! Safe journey!

You may be have SIBO or another inflammatory type situation. Ask about that.

"IT'S MEDICINALLLLLLLL"

Ask if your prescriber can provide liquid hydrocod/actetaminophen 7.5-325/ 15 ml This was one of my post op pain meds

You're in!

You only need to book mark it to find it easier. Hope that helps!

Welcome to the party!!!@AEdoesRnY 🎉🎉🎉 @ElectricBoogaloo just keep trying and you will get there!!!

What are your thoughts on ryvita vs Wasa crackers? Curious if you’ve tried wasa and prefer one over the other! I have tried Wasa for years before surgery and they are good, I chose the original ryvita crispbread these days because it was basically one or two ingredients. I like simplicity in ingredients.

You should consult your team and ask if you can accelerate your plan stages instead of gambling each time you try something off plan. Their answers may surprise you Safe Journey

So I went out with a friend and we ate a Pizookie together, I'm going to pay for it later... Lol It was too sweet, too rich, too many calories. More restaurants need diabetic friendly desserts. I'm glad it was the only thing I tried. It's like 1000000000 cals per square inch

Staying hydrated this weekend, How's everyone else doing?

Tell them people don't usually live long after diseases related to excess weight like diabetes, heart disease and even depression. Good luck with fighting the ignorance out there Safe Journey

I would have assumed someone tried to strangle me Lol
